Chapter 1136: Aurora (15)

You can't always wait for the perfect time.

Sometimes, you have to dare to do it.

Because life is too short to wonder what could have been.

************** 

Draghar saw himself as a threat to Aurora and he didn't want him to lose control again because he himself wasn't sure how to control the beast inside of him, in front of her, when the wild and savage desires of the beast within him couldn't be contained.

"Don't open the door, let me talk like this," Draghar said when he heard Aurora's footsteps stop just behind the door, just a second before she opened it and saw the figure of a monster inside the body of a man like Draghar.

"Why?" Aurora asked from behind the door. She was very tempted to push it open, but something in Draghar's voice stopped her. "What is it? Are you okay?" Had her father hurt him?

Oh, if that happened, then Aurora would have a very serious conversation with her father later.

When she was calm, maybe Aurora's nature was more like Raine, she would appear soft, fragile and like a girl who needed protection, but when she wanted something, then the little girl would seem like a domineering alpha.

Aurora knew what she wanted and she was so stubborn to get whatever it was...

"I feel that you are safer this way," Draghar said.

"Draghar…" Aurora wanted to protest, but the man stopped her complaint.

"Please listen to my explanation first," Draghar said in a low, but urgent voice and this made Aurora speechless.

An instant silence fell over the two of them, as if it would last forever until Draghar started to speak.

One sentence that Aurora did not expect to hear.

"I am leaving tonight." He halted. "But you will not come with me. At least not now. I will pick you up later…"

There was no response from Aurora, which meant she was still listening to what Draghar had to say next.

"As you probably know by now, I can't control the beast inside me well," he said. Draghar felt a little embarrassed to admit this.

During his life, Draghar had never shown his weakness in front of others, nor talked about it, because he knew, once that person could see that he was weak, then he would not survive in life.

Life in the pack was harsh, not the peaceful type of life like in this Torak's pack. Therefore, Draghar thought this was a good decision, even though the beast inside him was trying to kill him for making such a decision.

If Draghar couldn't even protect Aurora from himself, then how was he going to protect Aurora from the pack? That would be a little unreasonable, wouldn't it?

Aurora was still silent, there was no response from behind the door, even Draghar didn't know what kind of expression his mate had now.

"It would be better like this," said Draghar. He didn't know how to put good words together, because he himself had never been in a situation where he had to pay attention to his words.

Thus, having said what he had to say, Draghar had nothing he could offer to make this separation a little better for the two of them.

He couldn't promise anything that he didn't know for sure.

"I'll go now," Draghar finally said.

It's so sad, how he couldn't even see Aurora's face one last time before he actually left.

However, before Draghar could turn around and leave, Aurora opened the door.

This was quite surprising as well as a relief for Draghar, because he could see his mate, but the expression on Aurora's face didn't match the mood at all.

In front of him, from behind the door, Draghar could see Aurora was staring at him very sharply. She pursed her lips tightly and clenched her fists.

And when the girl finally spoke, her voice sounded like a hiss.

"You're not going anywhere without me, Draghar." She then stepped aside, showing what was behind her. They were two large suitcases, which were already filled with the things she needed. "I've even packed my things."

Seeing that, Draghar didn't know what to say. He looked at Aurora's face with disbelief and there, he saw his mate's stubbornness for the first time and knew that he would not be able to change the girl's decision…

================ 

The parting between Aurora and her parents and Kayden was tearful, at least, Raine and Aurora cried, while Torak hugged his daughter very tightly for a long time and talked to Draghar.

Aurora felt that her father was issuing every threat he could think of to make sure that Draghar would treat her well.

It's very typical of his father and Aurora would miss his overprotective nature...

While Kayden was still trying to keep her there.

"I will allow you to enter my room without permission if you are willing to stay here and not follow him," said Kayden with a grim face.

Meanwhile, Aurora rolled her eyes. "I'm not interested in your offer, but thanks," she said and Kayden growled.

Meanwhile Raine hugged Aurora again and cried because this would be the first time they would be apart for so long.

The two women were women who could handle Donovans well, but still, they would be very sensitive and would be the first to cry when their hearts were touched, like now…

"I'll visit you," Kayden said to Aurora. "He had better treat you really well."

Since Draghar's pack, the blood moon pack, was very far away, requiring two days of travel, Torak provided two cars that Draghar and Aurora could use, and three other lycans caught with Draghar.

It would be a long journey and a new experience for Aurora. In a new pack full of mysteries, but as long as she's with Draghar, she felt she could get through anything…

At least that's what Aurora thought before she found out what awaited her in Draghar's pack…
